The Canmeds 2000 project by the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons is an attempt to provide a framework for outlining the educational needs of residents in specialty training which incorporated the skills and attributes needed by society now, as well as the ability to build on those skills as the needs of society change in their future as specialty physicians. The Canmeds 2000 system envisions the educational mission as being to prepare trainees to fulfill seven roles, with their attendant attributes. Although neuro anesthesia is not yet a recognized subspecialty by the Royal College, the use of this framework provides for consistency with other elements of specialty training in Canada, and is a comprehensive model for conceptualizing educational goals and objectives.
